  1. FeelThere team,

    Very many thanks for replying to my cry for info.  As usual, I await new releases/upgrades with anticipation. Multi-monitor is a must have for me so it was very pleasing to read that you have opted to write your own code.

  2. Hi Vic & team,

    Have you decided on the release order for the anticipated updates to 3D?  Or are the 3D SP, the new airport add-on & Pro all inter-dependent so they will all be released at the same time?  Any clues for which airport will be the add-on?

  3. Hi all,

    I have had a look at the airlines lists that are inherent in the Tower 3D extension folders and it is clear that they need a refresh.  The order is not alphabetical which makes things difficult and may explain why there are so many repeated entries. Also included are 180+ defunct airlines and there are many other incorrect entries.  Now rather than just complaining I have spent a very long time trying to correct the list which I offer to feelthere & nyerges design. My refreshed text file is attached as is an excel spreadsheet showing: red entries for defunct airlines, and yellow highlights for my corrections.  My sources were the IATA Current Members list of 270 airlines plus the IATA Low Cost Carriers List both of which I got from the IATA website.  The remainder was checked on the internet and while I cannot guarantee that those sources are 100% correct I tried to double check wherever possible and believe the vast majority to be true.

    Because I have corrected some airline codes and added new ones I have had to adjust the terminal and schedule files.  If feelthere & nyerges want me to hand those over as well I will.

  4. The multi-player element is not near the top of my desires for Pro but I will not dismiss it as quickly as others may have done as I simply do not have enough information. It might turn out to be a great facet of the simulation but my problem is that I cannot picture how it would work to provide both (or more?) players with a satisfying result. Is it a controller for each runway? Is it a controller each for ramp, ground & tower? If Vic could spare a moment to explain a little about why this element was deemed necessary and how (in broad terms) it will work then I am all ears.

  5. Hi 58050,

    KSAN SP1 is only for the airport and the default fantasy traffic.  Real Traffic adds real world airlines and those aircraft which will appear all white unless Real Color KSAN is also installed.  They are 3 distinctly different products.  Just make sure that you are using the correct product registration key for the Real Color KSAN installation.  If you are and it still will not install then an email to cservice@bmtmicro.com would be my next step; in my experience their customer service is excellent. 

  6. The much heralded single 777 operation at KSAN is missing from Real Traffic. There is no 777 in ksan_schedule. A quick bit of research suggested that British Airways fly a 777 from London Heathrow so I have edited the RT '744' into '772' for the 2 BA flights and lo and behold a 777 in BA colours appears at KSAN.  Was that the 777 operation you had in mind Vic or was it another?

  7. Hi Vic,

    I downloaded using the original link and the file was exactly the same size (82,738 KB) and the same title as the original (KSAN_for_Tower3D). Normally you add an SPx, have I jumped the gun and SP1 is not yet available via BMT Micro or is that the SP1 file but not labelled as such?

    I am not yet a customer (waiting for Tower 3D Pro) but from the images I have seen from Tower 3D addons like San Diego the buildings and surrounding dont seem to have the highest of quality. I know that this is very secondary where gameplay naturally is the absolute most important aspect of the product! Still however for payware stand alone addons could the buildings and surroundings not be of a bit higher quality? Much like a flight simulator where the default airports have a "good enough" quality but when you invest in addons airport the quality is much improved. 

    I find your addons airport prices to be very humane and actually fairly inexpensive. I would have no problems to pay double or more for a really good "Deluxe" airport every once in a while.

    Just a thought! :)

    That is a very good idea.  I agree with Mike, a few very high resolution airports would be something I'd spend money on.

    Further to my earlier post I've re-rum KLAX from 00.00 & CPA97 appears twice at 02.37. On the ground radr screen it appears at 2 different locations & as stated in previous post one is 744/H & the other is 748/H. However the only one that tends to do anything is the one marked as 744/H. Both strips are the same showing the plane going from KLAX to MMMX. Using the latest version of Nyerges Real Traffic.

    Something went wrong a few SPs ago with Real Traffic.  Gabor & co at Nyerges Design added 748 and 788 aircraft to the package (great idea - keep adding!) but did not delete the the original 744 or 77L lines in the klax_schedule file so have left many flights with 2 lines with the only difference being the aircraft type.

    To stop the flights appearing twice at the same time a little edit of the klax_schedule file is required (back up the original first!) then:

    a) delete the 744 entries for CX96, CX97, KE213 (arr & dep), KZ109, KZ110 & RU597. Thereby leaving only the 748 entries for those flights.

    b) delete the 77L entries for AA26, AA27, AA182, AA183, AA215, AA216, AC791, AC792, AM19, AM647, AV85, DY7087, DY7088, ET504, ET505, JL60, JL69, LA600, LA601, VS7, VS8, VS23, & VS24, Thereby just leaving the 788 entries for those flights.

    There are other problems with Real Traffic at all of the airports in T3D and I have edited my files to correct them (thanks to dickparker and others on this forum who have given me some excellent tips on editing RT), it's really easy!

     

  10. Before I get told to attach a log file, I have tried to create one several times.  I start T3D with the windows batch file, the run window opens as well as T3D but when I finish the session there is no log file to be found anywhere in the Tower 3D folder.  Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

    Anyway, onto my observations at KSAN.

    1. 757 cargo aircraft that land on 27 exit at B6, taxi along B, then cross 27 at B5 to C5 without stopping!  No need for a 'Continue taxi' command!

    2. 767 cargo aircraft that land on 27 exit at B7, taxi along B, then cross 27 at B6 to C6 without stopping before crossing the active runway.

    3. All cargo aircraft do a 360 spin when reaching taxiway F; taxi through any parked aircraft (see screenshot) then do some more circles for no known reason before parking.

    I am using T3D SP2a, RT sp6, with original KSAN and original RC for KSAN.
